Falla and her sister Luna are the fifth and sixth girls to join Daniel's harem. She is the more cunning and deceitful of the two, living up perfectly to the reputation of what a Giant Butterfly is like.
Appearance[]
Falla wears sandals with red ribbons wrapped around her lower legs and ankles. Her skirt is a large leaf that's wrapped around her hips, with there being no underwear of any kind worn underneath, and she wears a bra made of purple petals with green straps. She has red eyes and short dark hair, bug antennae atop her head, and her butterfly wings are black with the segments being purple while having red spots adorning the edges.
The skirts she and her sister wear appear to change from time to time, with some instances described as it being a single large leaf to others when the clothing is made of multiple leaves. This suggests that they have different skirts they wear rather than the same type all the time.
Personality[]
Falla has a more witty and calculating mindset than her joyful and sporadically insane sister. As all giant butterflies do she relies on her beauty and sharp tongue to get her way as opposed to using magic or strength, both of which she possesses none of, and knows how to use what she has to great effect. Growing up Falla learned the ways of their people with likely top marks in her classes so that she could one day trick a man into being with her, or tie him up if it came down to it. This isn't to say Falla is a cold or cruel monster at heart, as she genuinely cares about her people and especially her sister. She simply followed their people's ways of life with firm dedication and practice and became a fine example of how sneaky and untrustworthy giant butterflies could be.
Living up to the pun of her name, Falla - Fallacy, this giant butterfly is the embodiment of what giant butterflies are like in Eden, at least when she's first encountered by Daniel and the others. She's an expert liar with a poker face that can't be cracked, and is a skilled trickster when it comes to deceiving potential targets.
Even after joining Daniel's harem and learning the error of her ways she still retains much about her race's tropes, with her still telling small lies occasionally to get out of doing work or to place the blame for something she did on someone else, and using her sexual allure to entice Daniel and the other girls.
Abilities[]
Living Lie-Detector: While being skilled with telling lies herself, Falla is also able to tell when others are trying to do the same with her. Listening to their voice, watching their facial expressions, every single little tell there could be, Falla is able to pick up on all of them with ease and see through their false words right away.
Master Deceiver: Her aura isn't that of cunning for nothing. Falla is able to weave her words to gain the rhetorical advantage and can tell convincing lies of anything she wishes.
Insect-Based Monster Translator: This mainly falls in with translating for Squeak for the group, however it can be used with other insect-based monsters with bug antennae such as Snapper. By touching her antennae with another's, Falla is able to understand their words and translate for others nearby.
Bondage Expert: Either for fun in the bedroom or trying herself up in a convincing manner to further a lie, Falla is a master when it comes to the art of bondage, something giant butterflies typically learn to do in order to keep men with them by force should it come down to it.
Development[]
Falla is first found by Daniel in what appears to be a trap she fell into by traveling witches. Although her story of being cursed seemed odd it was difficult to argue with given how she was bound and defenseless after recently seeing witches nearby. Her ruse quickly falls apart when Luna rushes to her thinking her sister is truly cursed, and doesn't stop crying until Falla confesses it was all just a trick to get to Daniel. Although spared from harm by the girls with Luna begging they don't hurt her Falla refuses to give up on Daniel and continues to chase after him with her sister in tow. Upon finding Daniel and his girls cursed by a nightmare and about to die Falla is only concerned with saving Daniel until Luna begs her not to be so evil to others. With Luna's help she's able to wake up the girls and in turn help wake Daniel before any of them die, and then goes right back to her hounding of Daniel which prompts her to be pushed away by them yet again.
Later she and Luna come across Emily, and although uneasy at first with being near a human child as that's a good way of inciting an angry mob of humans to come after her, she plots a way of getting closer to Daniel by helping the child find refuge and acting the hero. During the trip however Luna and Emily become separated from Falla and she quickly becomes fearful for her sister's life. Having nobody else to turn to she enlists the help of Daniel and his girls, who agree to help not for her but because they like Luna and want to help Emily. Although the ruse of her only wanting to help Emily so she could lower Daniel's guard becomes known so does her deep affection and care towards Luna which helps paint her in a better light. When their search brings them to Eston Falla uncovers Jovian & Jacqueline's true identity from remembering Emily's description of dangerous monsters that attacked her and warns everyone before its too late. Later when the gemini get their hands on Daniel and prepare to torture him in front of his girls Falla uses her cunning to trick the gemini into letting her get closer in a ruse that she'll rape Daniel in front of his girls to torture them that way. Instead she grabs Daniel's dagger and attacks the gemini, freeing Daniel and flying him back to his girls. After the ensuing fight with the gemini and then being told to leave the town by Charlotte the group finds Luna and discovers that not only was Emily a witch but she also raped Luna out of twisted love. Falla is instantly mortified and feels guilty for leaving her sister with the witch in the first place.
While still skeptical of Daniel's beliefs Falla agrees to help him gain an audience with her monarch at Luna's persistent insistence. It's there in Flairwood that they discover that princess Complica has been kidnapped and speaking to her mother is not possible. While Triska sets off in search of the princess the girls learn about Daniel's practice with magic and how he brought forth his power from a desire to protect them, even from Jovian & Jacqueline if it came down to it, and that included protecting Falla and Luna, something that stuns Falla from hearing. Meanwhile Triska manages to find and save Complica from swarm with Pip's magic, however a few swarm are accidentally brought along with them back to Daniel and the others, one of which that grabs hold of Falla and tries to fly off with her. Without thinking twice Daniel quickly leaps to her rescue and kills the swarm before it can kill Falla. Afterwards everyone learns of how Complica being kidnapped was because she told a lie to humans which backfired on her, one that led to her being permanently scarred with ripped wings. Seeing firsthand how lying only leads to trouble for her kind and learning that Daniel would fight to keep her safe because he genuinely cares about her, Falla becomes a firm believer of Daniel's beliefs and quickly falls in love with him. She even goes so far as to declare her devotion to Daniel in front of her monarch and back up his claims that they need to listen to him or else all giant butterflies could be doomed by their own false words.
Falla's personality changes during the course of the series. When first seen she's a sneaky manipulator only interested in raping Daniel and not caring about him or the other girls at all. After learning the error of her ways she changes into a devoted follower of his belief while seeing the other girls in a better light. She can still be counted on to tell a lie or two and will openly make snarky remarks, but she does learn to genuinely care and love Daniel and the girls as her new family.
Aura[]
Falla's insignia is blowing wind to the left in purple light.
- Increased Cunning - When drawn by Daniel his sense of self-confidence and cunning increase, which makes his arguments and reasoning all the more sound and harder to debate with those he speaks with.
- Power of Wind - Channeling Falla's aura grants Daniel the ability to summon and direct gusts of wind.
Synergy Overload[]
First seen briefly in S1. Act V, and then again in greater capacity in S2. Act IV. When Daniel uses Synergy on his girls, they generate an extraordinary amount of monster energy to fuel his magic. However, if Daniel does not make use of all of it, and the girls are left with the massive buildup of energy within themselves, the excess energy then empowers the girls with incredible abilities.
For Falla, she is able to conjure windstorms around herself or in front of her. Unlike her sister's similar talent, Falla's windstorms appear more controlled and stable when in motion.
Harem Status[]
Falla's role in the harem is more of a supportive one. She's either seen with her sister as she's always keeping an eye on Luna to make sure she's staying out of trouble or to double up their allure towards Daniel, or being the sharp ear who catches any lies being told to the group. She's also the one who frequently translates for Squeak using their antennae.
When engaging in their group lovemaking sessions she tends to favor Squeak as her partner when not with Daniel. She appears to greatly care for Squeak despite how they used to fight in the past with her attempts to steal Daniel away, something which likely is why they have a strong bond now.
When officially accepted into Daniel's harem Luna and Falla are seen to willingly have sex with not only the other girls but each other as well, seeming to ignore their familiar status with one another both because they're co-mates for Daniel and also as a means of arousing him with their immoral love.
Fetish[]
"Tie me up and never let me go, Daniel!"
-S2. Act III, Chapter 15
Falla's fetish is being tied up with bondage play. Although she's a master with tying others up it excites her to be the one being bound in rope. The mere act of tying her up, in either rope, vines, or arachne webbing, is enough to get her heart beating faster. It's been shown that her body becomes much more sensitive in this state while she often begs to be kept in binds for as long as possible.
Trivia[]
- Falla's character and appearance is brought into Chronicles of Eden from a fanfiction the author has written for Rosario+Vampire, "Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness". In the fanfiction she doesn't have bug antennae and is actually a chronofly monster type.
